Mrs. Luke Duke

I had a good holiday, how about the rest of you at HazzardNet! In my world, we're being hit hard with a blizzard, the first one this winter.

The Dukes isn't being shown this week on CMT due to holiday specials, but it will be back on next week. Dec. 27 10 p.m. EST -- Follow That Still (featuring L.B. Davenport) Dec. 28 10 p.m. EST -- Duke of Duke (another L.B. episode) Dec. 29 10 p.m. EST -- The Runaway (the final L.B. episode) Dec. 30 10 p.m. EST -- Arrest Jesse Duke (featuring Hughie Hogg) Dec. 31 10 p.m. EST -- Treasure of Hazzard (featuring Lester Crabbe) CMT seems to be airing the second season episodes in production order rather than airdate order. They're airing Cooter's and Roscoe's replacement episodes first, except for 'Granny Annie' -- B.B. Davenport's only appearance.

Happy holidays everyone! Hope everything goes well in 2005!

I almost forgot, I have the video that John put out back in 1997, "Behind the scenes with Bo". I found it at a flea market and the plastic was still on the case, I paid $3 for it and it's an excellent video. It features John talking with Denver, Ben, Jimmie, Sonny, Rick, and Tom; while filiming the 1997 reunion movie.

So far, I've got the season one DVD in my collection. My brother watched the Dukes every Friday night when he was little (I was too young to remember myself and never saw an episode until 1996). He collected a few Duke things back then. He used to have the General Lee comforter on his bed until it was worn out. He had the General Lee with the Bo and Luke figures. He has the General Lee and Boss Hogg car figurines, he also has the soundtrack album on LP, and he also has a viewmaster of the Dukes (it's all at my house where I have them on display).

I knew Luke was hypnotized in 'Goodbye General Lee' in order for him to sell the General to Boss. It's been a while since I saw both episodes, I guess it was since TNN took the reruns off the air, about 3 years ago.

Don't you remember when Bo got amnesia in "My Son, Bo Hogg"? Boss hypnotized him into thinking he was a Hogg instead of a Duke. Yeah, Luke did get injured more than Bo. I felt sad everytime Luke was hurt.

I've never heard of the two actors that are signed on to play Bo and Luke. Of course, I have heard and seen Jessica Simpson countless times on TV with her husband. I think Danny would have made a great Boss Hogg. Burt would have made a good Roscoe, while Chevy would have made a good Enos. Burt will be fine for Boss as is Willie Nelson for Jesse. Both Kenny Rogers and Charlie Daniels would have been prime candidates for Jesse. Travis Tritt or Tim McGraw would make a good Cooter.

I think it would be nice for John, Tom, and Cathy, to have cameos in the movie.

I bought my season one set at Wal-Mart the day it was released, two weeks after my birthday. Does anyone know if there will be episode commentaries on the season two set? Is the entire cast going to take part in this release? I enjoy the "Hazzard Barbeque" reunion, but noticed that Tom Wopat was absent. He must have been doing broadway at the time. It would have been nice if he had the time to take part.

I noticed that the pilot episode started again last week on CMT Canada (it doesn't bother me in the least). I watched the reruns when they were on TNN a few years ago. Did you also notice that the episodes are uncut, just like the DVD's are!
